U.S.
and China senior government officials talked over the telephone this Thursday
in Washington. This is the second call since last June summit in which the two
sides consented to a ceasefire in their progressing Trade struggle.

The
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and U.S. Treasury Steven Mnuchin
addressed the Chinese side before, a USTR representative affirmed. There were
no subtleties discharged on what was talked about, and the Chinese Ministry of
Commerce didn’t react to a faxed solicitation for more information. The Reuters
reported the telephone call before.

Talks
between the two Nations failed in May, and there’s been minimal open
advancement since Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping consented to a
ceasefire when they met in Japan a month ago. There are still great differences
between the two countries, with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross forewarning the
negotiations would be a “prolonged process, included procedure.” As
reported by international media.

Trump
this week repeated that he could force extra taxes on Chinese imports on them
if he needs, and stated that China wasn’t purchasing the enormous volumes of
U.S. agrarian products that he asserts Xi guaranteed to buy. Another major
point for any continued trade will be how precisely the U.S. will simplify
trade restrictions on Chinese innovation Huawei Technologies Co.

The
U.S. government is experiencing strain from Congress not to make concessions on
Huawei, with a bipartisan meeting of U.S. Senate and House officials uncovering
legislation this week that would stop the expulsion of Huawei from the
“technology blacklist” without an order of Congress.

On
Thursday, U.S. Congressperson Rick Scott said in a Bloomberg Television meet
that Huawei isn’t a trade war, but a national security one and is
non-debatable.

Mnuchin
said that if talks with Chinese authorities over the telephone were beneficial
that he and Lighthizer would head out to Beijing for more meetings.
